He stated that most banking sector fraud handled by the commission showed that bank employees aided the acts.
He also expressed regret at the increasing rate of cybercrime in spite of the best efforts by the commission to tackle it.
Sambo observed that in years past, young people involved in cybercrime were not ICT savvy, but today, it is ICT graduates that are the champions in perpetrating the crime.
He attributed the increase in cybercrime to moral decadence and peer group influence.
